I Marched Through the Vineyards
”It was one of those March days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold, when it is summer in the light and winter in the shade.” Charles Dickens
I was walking (not marching, sorry for the pun) through the vineyards a couple of days ago and it was exactly as Dickens described it. The trees are still bare, the vines haven’t started to sprout yet but the forsythia is already in bloom. The sun was out but I was glad I still wore my winter coat against the cold wind.

The Big Dangers
But small animals can be dangerous, too. The oak processionary moth has become prevalent in many areas in Germany were it was previously unknown, now there are often signs found on trees to warn of them. The signs have become permanent, they don’t bother to take them down in winter anymore.

Looking Up
My worst “looking up” moment with birds came many years ago when I saw 15 louries in the trees in our garden and I looked up and kept looking up and didn’t see where I was going and I fell in the pool, scraping my thigh which left me with a bruise that took literally years to go away. But it hasn’t cured me from looking up.

See How They Run
Nancy at A Photo a Week asked for a photo or two with unexpected point of focus this week.
On Sundays, I sometimes take my camera on a run and take photos along the way. I have to be fast and the autofocus doesn’t always understand that it is about the people I’m with. The results are often unexpected.
And autofocus is usually not thinking like I am thinking when I spot something behind a fence.
Although the effect is not always the worst.
A Photo a Week: Unexpected Focus
From a Distance
When I saw the prompt for today I immediately knew which impression I would show. I have a number of photos of animals tracks, mostly cats and dogs but also a few birds, bunnies and deer on file. They looked perfect in the thumbnail pictures of the preview. Once you get closer and you view them in normal size – they seem to dissappear.
See what I mean?
